Keep the lagoon! There’s a beauty in a smaller tanks, especially when it’s over 5 years old!

I havent been in the hobby for a few years, but if I’d start again, Id do something like this. A softy or LPS tank. Looks gorgeous

A couple of years ago I ended up with one of the nuclear orange discomas from that tank. I didnt get it directly from you, but I was told it was from you previously. I lost it unfortunately. If you ever have extras and want to get rid of one, let me know! By far my favorite discoma. They are so under rated!

I've still got some, just let me know! ~Remy

This is a great video of the reality of reef keeping. The constant fight against different types of algae and how sometimes we can neglect our aquariums. I'm guilty of this as I hated doing water changes

@ReefBuildersVideo 6 ай бұрын

I try to keep it real! We see all the perfect tanks on IG...this has it's own beauty for sure! ~Remy

Keep it!! It’s rolling and looking great!❤

@ughlguess1993 6 ай бұрын

100% keep it running. Maybe dress it up if it bugs you. But i would just journal it's growth and changes. Thats what most of us are here for!

I think that's the plan! ~Remy

I say keep the 25 up, its good to show nanos and large tanks

Bet you would!! I kid, I kid! I just need to set up a formal fragging of those big guys. The list of people wanting one is a mile long - I wouldn't know where to begin. The Reef Builders studio will be getting one at Reefstock! ~Remy

You can't take that down Remy it's amazing and alot of history with that tank.

Our old yellow fiji will lose the yellow if we use to much blue they seem to like a more 12-14k spectrum We found that out when we went from t5 to leds

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how all this new Fiji yellow does under predominantly LED. ~Remy

Keep it! I'm new to the reef side of the hobby and am just starting a Red Sea Max Nano Peninsula - 26g - similar size, so I am interested in future updates and inspiration! I built a Bolivian rosewood stand for mine. I would highly recommend!

@AnaLaMama 6 ай бұрын

I would love to see the 60-gallon dedicated to some Chrysiptera or Pomacentrus demoiselles, as I think these gorgeous fish are very under-appreciated, and a tank of their own would stop them from bullying.

@randomreefer 6 ай бұрын

Keep it up. I hate I took mines down the first time but it’s going good now. Minus the bubble algae. Go check it out.

@willmar2778 6 ай бұрын

Keep the softie tank or you'll regret it once you take it down, unless you're using the 60 gallon tank to upgrade the 25 gallon.

@ReefBuildersVideo 6 ай бұрын

That's a thought! I'd just need to make sure that 60 was stable enough before I started placing my favorite leathers in there. I appreciate the suggestion! ~Remy

@@ReefBuildersVideo Take your time man, I got my new 6 months old 40 Gallon Breeder SPS tank and sump running smoothly and believe or not filter socks help a lot getting through the cycles of a new reef will always start a tank with them and Dr Tims waste away, Eco Balance.

Don’t ever shut down the lagoon. It’s Amazing. Both the nanos are perfection.

Crystal worms are good no fear mate. They're the best member of the cleanup crew you can get they're worth or white and gold. I would add them to my tank if I didn't have them.

Agreed - perfect sump mates! Everything in the tank good and "bad" is coexisting nicely at the moment. Thanks for watching! ~Remy

I'm on the cusp of starting a JBJ 28 gallon nano cube it was sitting on a curb in excellent shape, used to be in the salt water hobby but things have changed quite a bit, question is about cycling the tank and using base rock and some live rock as a combination is that a good or bad idea or any pro's or cons with that approach?

my zoas are losing color... whats going on? also, got some that were colored nice, and they have kept the color, but they seem to be stretching... not enough light? can anti algae treatments kill color in zoas?
